Ships Burn While Firemen Sleep
A Havana harbor blaze consumes the American freighter Krakow as Havana fire crews stagger through the night shift. Crews of the Krakow, aid by Richard Blesse and American consular officials, battle the flames while Cuban and U.S. authorities clash over rescue and salvage efforts. The ship finally burns to be beached as efforts to pump water and pierce the hull fail.
